Description
Peterborough, just an ordinary city full of people like you and me, steeped in history and totally unique, but it could be anywhere, really, it could. In this first story the discovery of an ancient artefact leaves Neil Pressland, wife Judy, and best friend Nasra wondering what it has to do with them – especially as it happened over a decade ago. They soon find themselves drawn into a mystery that has them inextricably linked through the passage of time to something very dark from the past. The Spirit of Peterborough is always there watching. He sees through all of time in a glimpse of an eye as he dips in and tells the stories that unfold before him. |
Description
What happens when something from our past rises to the surface to confront us? Josh Penfold knows someone is watching him, but who lurks in the shadows, across the town centre square and under the railway bridge? History repeating itself provides the trigger that draws Josh into this complex mystery, emotionally linked to his past. First a ghostly vision, then the stranger that haunts him night and day, but who is he? What does he want of Josh, and who is The Night Runner? Will Josh be able to make any real sense of his life when this tale of the unexpected finally unravels itself. |
Description
Every city holds secrets from its past that lie dormant ready to affect the future, but what if there was more than that? What happens when something from another time rises to the surface to confront us? Best friends Abbey and Amy find themselves drawn into a complex mystery one summer evening when embarking upon an organised ‘ghost tour’ of the city. Events link uncomfortably back to the historical ghostly past, but Abbey senses that there is something deeper at work. She and Amy will have to go through a torrid time to first understand and then get their lives back to any sort of normality. Twists to the plot make this a dark tale of the very unexpected. |
Description
When the McBrides travel to Castor – a village just a few miles to the west of Peterborough, to look for the burial site of a family relative, they never thought it would lead to them moving there to live. They soon discover that the house they now own holds a secret that perhaps only they can ever uncover, but at what price? What has their young son Harry seen? And what really happened all those years ago in their garden. Their ageing neighbour George has a lot to do with them moving there in the first place, but what does he know that he is not telling . . . as if his life depended on it? If you've never believed in fate of any sort – just maybe you'll want to read this gripping ghostly tale. |
